Homology is a concept in Biology that refers to similarities between different species due to shared ancestry. In genetics, homology refers to similar DNA sequences found in different species that are inherited from a common ancestor. Homologous structures in anatomy are organs or body parts that have a similar underlying structure but may have different functions in different species.

What is the key distinction between homology and homoplasy when they both result in similar traits?

The key distinction between homology and homoplasy is that homology is when similar traits are inherited from a common ancestor, while homoplasy is when similar traits evolve independently in different species.

What are The three types of homologies are?

The three types of homologies are anatomical homology (similar structure), developmental homology (similar embryonic origin), and molecular homology (similar genetic sequence). These homologies provide evidence of common ancestry and evolutionary relationships among different species.
